Neil's life takes a dramatic turn after a series of events. A group of Pakistani businessmen arrive in the United States to confront him after a drone strike kills their relatives. Things get complicated when Neil discovers that his own family is at risk. The film questions the morality of drone warfare and explores the psychological effects of carrying out remote killings from a safe distance.

The movie begins with Neil Wistin, a drone operator, carrying out an attack on a compound in Pakistan. The first scenes show the precision of drone warfare and how detached it is from physical reality. Neil and his team sit in a trailer, drinking coffee and monitoring an airstrike through computer screens. The drone's camera feed shows Neil the details of the target: a group of men playing soccer, children nearby, and two cars parked outside. Neil gets the go-ahead to fire the missile, and the screen goes black.

After the airstrike, Neil returns to his suburban home, where he lives alone with his dog. He spends most of his days playing video games and watching TV. His job has a numbing effect on him, and he seems aloof and detached from the world around him. Neil's only human interaction is with his supervisor, Gary, who is also his friend. In a conversation with Gary, Neil reveals that he has never seen combat and ed the Air Force to save money for college.

One day, Neil's routine is disrupted by a knock on his door. A man named Imir Shaw arrives, claiming to be a businessman from Pakistan. Imir tells Neil that he lost his brother and son in a drone attack and wants to speak to the pilot responsible. Neil lies and says that he was not involved in that attack, but Imir doesn't believe him. Imir warns Neil that he will face consequences for his actions, and leaves.

Neil starts to feel uneasy and paranoid. He becomes aware of the dangers of his job and the possibility of being targeted by revenge-seeking individuals. He starts to suspect that Imir and his associates are spying on him and hacks into his neighbor's security cameras. He becomes more reclusive and defensive, even towards his own sister and nephew, who live nearby.

The tension in the film increases when Neil's family gets involved. Neil's teenage nephew, who is interested in robotics, builds a drone himself and starts flying it around the neighborhood. Neil becomes furious and warns him of the dangers of drone technology. Later, Neil's sister reveals that she is dating a man who works for the same drone company as Neil. She tells Neil that she hopes he can reconcile with his estranged father, who is also in the military, but Neil rejects her attempts at bonding.

Drone raises many ethical questions about drone warfare and the impact it has both on the people who carry out the attacks and on the civilians who suffer the consequences. The film also explores the legal and political implications of drone strikes, including the use of contractors and the secrecy of the program.

The film's climax is a tense standoff between Neil and Imir, who has followed him to his house. Without giving away too much, it's safe to say that the ending is surprising and thought-provoking.

Overall, Drone is a well-made and well-acted thriller that offers a fresh perspective on a controversial subject. It's not an action film, but a slow-burn drama that takes its time to build up the tension and the emotional weight of its subject matter. Ewen Bremner's performance as Neil is nuanced and sympathetic, making the audience feel empathy towards a character who could easily be portrayed as a villain. If you're interested in military technology, political thrillers, or human dramas, Drone is definitely worth checking out.

Drone is a 2013 action movie with a runtime of 11 minutes.
